I have been thinking about some words of Jesus, recorded in John's gospel. They jump out of me in William Barclay's translation...
Talking to some very religious people, Jesus chides them: "There is no room in you for my word."
The New International version translates it: "you have no room for my word."
What was keeping them from hearing God's word was a religious belief system that left no room for a fresh understanding of God...
Reflecting on Jesus' words to them, I wonder: Do I have room in my heart for fresh words from God?
How does one keep an open heart?
